Resistance

[close] [from wikipedia] Deep Green Resistance (DGR) is an aboveground environmental movement that views mainstream environmental activism as being largely ineffective. DGR also refers to the strategy described by the movement for saving the Earth. DGR believes that industrial civilization is endangering all life on the planet, and that a broad range of tactics are needed to achieve environmental and social justice in decisive material ways. It advocates for a radical shift in society's structure and function and calls for humans to actively fight for the Earth. DGR's goals are to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and to stop those in power from destroying the planet. DGR argues that these effects are systemic to the culture of civilization and thus aims to stop industrial civilization altogether. Ultimately, Deep Green Resistance intends for the health of landbases to be restored, for indigenous peoples to regain their cultural integrity and land rights, and for the human communities that inhabit the earth to be egalitarian, just, and sustainable. DGR has gained attention because of its controversial nature--it advocates a pragmatic approach to saving the earth, utilizing whatever means necessary to stop destruction of the natural world. DGR promotes the defense and restoration of landbases, and the recognition that most of the land belongs to indigenous peoples, who are suffering under foreign military occupation. DGR also aligns itself with radical feminist, indigenous rights, anti-colonial, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist movements, as well as other social justice issues. As an organization, it actively educates the public about the need for resistance and uses examples from past and current resistance movements, and advocates for a world where biodiversity increases from year to year. Due to security risks and surveillance, DGR maintains a strict firewall towards any possible underground.

[close] The resistance needs YOU! As we receive reports of the Empire building a Death Star, we have become increasingly aware that we cannot beat them at their own game-cruelty. So we will have to outsmart them, and the only way to get smarter is to read! **Extra training for you wannabe hot shot pilots, discipline is important.** Choose your branch, Army or Navy then ascend through the ranks!

[close] Hello, Group! We will be reading Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." When I have worked out a schedule for reading it will be posted on the discussion board, along with questions to facilitate discussion. Do not be afraid to share your opinion! We all have a unique way of looking at things and that's what makes discussing literature so fun and engaging. In fact, you're encouraged to read the book from different approaches! Post every thought, question, concern, and analysis you have, just be sure to post it in its proper discussion thread. Please read the rules and have fun! If this goes well, maybe we can do this again in the future. If you would like to create your own group, just ask the moderator and he will help you to the best of his ability. All are welcome. Feel free to invite others into our discussions. Thank you!

[close] An idea I've been playing with for a while, sort of a WWIII scenario with a twist, it's not really in this time period, but weapons and such are modern. Anywho, the point is, a Dictatorship has been created and what once was a powerful aristocracy crumbles to the will of a strange overlord. The Underground is the resistance to said overlord and thus we're here to kick some ass XD
